Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more if needed

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more if needed

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Place asparagus in a large, shallow bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, going from bottom to top of stalks. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over asparagus; lightly toss to coat each spear.

  3. Use tongs to transfer coated asparagus to the preheated grill. Grill to desired tenderness, 3 to 7 minutes.

  4. Remove asparagus from the grill and place onto a serving plate. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan.

Tips

Peel the bottom of the asparagus stems to remove tartness and allow more seasonings to penetrate.
